Angelo's Northwood Villa sits just across the Michigan-Ohio state line on the Dixie Highway, the road Prohibition-era drinkers nicknamed the "Avenue of Booze." Jimmy Hayes, Toledo's most powerful illegal gambling kingpin, opened the Villa in 1924 as a place where the wealthy could dine, dance and, on the second floor, lose money at the tables. Slot machines lined the foyer. It was, by most accounts, very good at all three things.

The Villa's role in Toledo's underworld went well beyond the gaming tables. This is reputedly where Jacob "Firetop" Sulkin introduced Yonnie Licavoli to Toledo, a meeting that would unleash a wave of murders and mayhem across the Glass City throughout the early 1930s.

VoiceMap's Unholy Toledo Tour uses the Villa to trace how one polite introduction on the Avenue of Booze unravelled years of carefully brokered criminal peace and set the city on fire.
